Mandrill – Mandrill

Mandrill’s self-titled debut is a landmark fusion of funk, soul, jazz, Latin rhythms, and Afrocentric rock, marking the arrival of one of the most adventurous bands of the early 1970s. Released on Polydor, the album blends deep grooves, complex percussion, extended compositions, and socially conscious energy that would come to define Mandrill’s cult status.

Tracks like “Mandrill,” “Warning Blues,” “Symphonic Revolution,” and the multi-part “Movement” suite showcase the group’s expansive sound and fearless musicianship. The striking mandrill cover art has become iconic and is a favorite among collectors of classic funk and psych-soul.

This copy is factory sealed, with original shrink wrap intact — a highly desirable and increasingly scarce example of Mandrill’s debut in unopened condition.
